easiest and best machine for the money if you know what you're doing. I did a polished song on this thing and told my friends it was done at a pro studio and they believed it.
Hey, we have the recording all set and we're trying to put it onto a cd. We've tried the trim function and we can't seem to get it to work so we can burn it. Could you help us?
I own this studio and it works GREAT! I too am a drummer and yes you can easily mic up a drum kit. It has 8 inputs. Once you filled up your inputs.... hit the 8 track recording button and turn on all your mic'd tracks and away you go.
Mate G'day from Australia, great vid, my question is this. We have a Yamaha desk mg16/6fx can I ind sends from the desk to this one and record that? I want to capture the live feel of our band BobKats... Cheers.
I would like to record 4 vocals, guitar and the keyboard at the same time on Zoom HD16. How to set all those buttons to record mode???
My problem is that I have no idea how to turn more than 2 buttons to record mode. When I press one to red (recording mode) it's OK but when I press next one in line for multiple tracks recording to red, the previous ones turn off automatically. How do you turn them all to red (recording) without getting some of them turned off themselves.
Easily done. Just hit the button that says 8 track recording, mic up your drumset, turn all the inputs on and then turn on all the tracks to record (red) . This will make each mic go to the corresponding track. Hit record.. Before you master, Go into each track and EQ it...add reverb or effect and there you go.
I really apolozie everyone, I have changed careers and am no longer in the music store. I do plan on doing some more videos, but it has been very difficult to find time. However, I am an insurance agent now with Farmer's Insurance, so if anyone lives in indiana and needs help with their insurance let me know. Also, my new name on here is nbcguitar so you can find me there a little easier. I will get some videos up I hope soon. Again, I apologize for the HUGE delay...
Can I record a live recording setup with this easily enough...micing up guitar, bass amps, drums etc. and then lay vocals over the top of that? and as far as vocals go, what is the quality like recording straight through the hd16? Does it require a high quality condenser to get crisp vocals, would I be wasting money to buy a $700 mic for a recorder like this?
Sorry guys, Im no longer at the Music Store, so I don't get on here as often. What you do is you hit the button that says 8 track recording. This allows all 8 inputs to act independently of each other. You can then record, and go in and EQ each track the way you want it. So you can beef up the kick by dropping some mids and adding lows and maybe a little high end click. Also, don't be afraid to use the reverb and delay controls on your drums. It can really bring them out or set a mood.
Recording live is really cool actually. You can do it a couple of ways. If your band is completely miked through a soundboard, chances are that it is probably subgrouped. Meaning : One fader controls all the drum faders, one controls all the vocals, one controls guitars, and one controls the bass and keys. You come out of the subgroup outs on the board with regular 1/4 inch cables, and run them into individual channels on the HD16. Hit the button on top that says 8 track recording.
Again, sorry so late to respond. The large diaphragm condensers will work fine with the HD16, just push in the little 48v button for phantom power and you are good to go.
Thanks Aaron,my first post ever on internet.Vidhelped a LOT.Did pt 2 of HD 16 get made ?Self teachin on pc an HD 16.I,m guessing Zoom ,if you,ve not time w will answer,"How to do a v take ?So nice to see something,someone friendly,pleasent giving something FREE.Well done,more please.Terry London
Is it possible to use the HD16 as a normal audio interface straight into the computer with USB?
I own an HD16 but it's currently at my friend's house.
I want to be able to record my tracks through the HD16 right onto Cubase instead of recording on the HD16 and then transferring the files on my computer.
when you record vocals on the zoom hd , do you have to light up two fader buttons to make it stereo ? -basically if you have a mic , must you use two track faders to record vocals? i bought a Fostex mr8 and i want to throw it out the freaking window because even though its 8 tracks you must light two tracks, bacicly makeing it a FOUR TRACK! - any help would be appreciated . thanks .
@Fo0dStamps i knew nothing about it when i started messing around with my hd16 and tried alot of different things... clearly i still have learning to do if i'm looking up videos like this... but no, i found no difference in the sound when recording vocals to a single or multiple tracks
if you dont have a whole lot of projects on the hard drive then as far as I can tell it will record a very long time....I just recorded a 45 min long live set and i have made several projects since then...it should do it easily
those are also Samson Medio O-N-E- speakers. I bought the 5a and they are little ass kickers, i love this entire set up, wouldn't use anything else that i've seen. Till you've seen it and used it you cannot believe everything this unit will do.
Is it possible to adjust the volumes of each track and have the adjustments show up in the final mix as they were performed? Example: If I were to turn an acoustic guitar track all the way down for two or three measures then turn it back up. Is it possible to make that adjustment show up in the final mix?
This is BY FAR AND HANDS DOWN the best instructional video on the HD16 I have seen. I can't wait for the next one, thank you so much, I had no idea that I could edit my effects till I read teh above comment. 5******
Is there an instructional video on dvd on this anywhere? if not please make one, it would be such a big help, as this video is. I have this unit and love it but I am nowhere near understanding it.
OK i have this problem, why is it my guitar sustain seems to be much longer on normal amps but in HD 8 Zoom,it seems to get a signal cut, how to eliminate this signal cut, thank you?
The last four are stereo channels. for example 9/10. When the two inputs are lit, you can dual mike something, for example on a vocalist you could sing through a dynamic mic (sm58) and a Condenser at the same time. Or you could have two mics on two guitar amps, or a close mic and a distant mic. By hitting the track parameter button you can pan from one to the other, as well as control the virtual tracks for each. You can also just use one input by turning one of the two off.
All you have to do when doing one track at a time, turn on your input and then turn the track status button on 9 - 16 to red, hit record and you will have recorded to the track lit up red.
To record two tracks or more simultaneously, you need to hit the button that says 8 track recording, up next to the inputs. Now when you turn the inputs on "say inputs 1 and 7. When you record those will automatically go to tracks 1 and 7. You can actually record up to 8 tracks simultaneously, this is great for recording live bands or drumset all at once!
By all means mic up your amp and use your effects. The internal amp models sound great, but nothing beats having your own personal tone on a recording. Experiment with mic placement on your amp, as well as dual miking and distant miking. Use your imagination and make it your own!
I've had one of these for a short while now, but I've been too busy to really throw some music onto it. I've got everything set up now, and after watching this helpful video, I can't wait to get stuck in and start recording some great sounding tracks. Thanks for the video, it's very informative and handy, especially for a short video!
If you are recording with 6 tracks: 2 for guitars, 1 for bass, 2 for electric drums and 1 for vocals - can you assign different effects to each of the channels, or do you have to have the same insert effect for all the instruments? If you do, can you change the effects after you have recorded the tracks? Thank you. (Please ask if this doesn't make sense!)
Actually, when you find a sound close to what you like, just hit edit. You can adjust your gain, equalization, add or subtract effects, change the tone, the cabinet, any number of things, not to mention after you record it. You can use the bounce function and the insert effect to use other effects or mic simulations to change the sound. Not to mention, just the good ole miking up a good guitar amp and letting it rip. Part 2 is coming,
cool ty i thank i need to save a get one than right now i have digitech rp 150 usb and adobe audition 1.5 with wht you showing and wht i got now would be nice ty again
what distortion settings did u use for your rhythm, I just got this recorder and I cant get anything that heavy and clean...Im using a Gibson Explorer
I cant remember the exact ones I used in tis video. I think this is right. I know the lead was one called MultiLd, I used I think the clean with light chorus on the clean part. And the 1959MS for the basic distorted rhythm part.
Here is another suggestion for your sound derek, make sure input source is input, hit shift+ insert effects, arrow down til you reach distortion, and then use the jog wheel to listen to different dist settings. When you find one that is close, hit edit and arrow over to what you want to change (pre, comp, effect, etc) then arrow down and use the jog wheel to turn things up or down, do this while playing to find your sound. Good luck
I have the MRS 802 and love it. I am thinking of upgrading to the MRS 1608 or the HD-16. Is the HD16 worth it over a used 1608? Also, I haven't been able to do starts, stops and fills with the drum machine in the MRS 802.
The HD16 is definitely worth upgrading to. The meter bridge is great, plus having 80 gigs of memory is awesome. Its pretty easy to program your drums as well.
If you want one, we sell them at the Musician's Den, and I have one in stock ready to ship. I always include a couple of cheat sheets to help my customers get going a little quicker.
heya, im looking at doing my bands recording on one of those bad boys, i was wondering, can you record drums on the without having to use the presets on the product, and if so how?
No problem doing drums, Just hit the 8 track recording button. Plug your drums in, turn all the inputs you are using on, and set all the corresponding track buttons to red(rec) Then record. You can hit Shift+Pattern and choose the metronome pattern usually 4/4 set your tempo, and you have a great click track to play along with. Then once you EQ your drums and get them mixed, bounce them to a stereo track like 15/16 that way you can open up the other tracks for the rest of your band.
Shift+Pattern, Then Turn the Jog wheel to the left til it says PTN 510 Metro44, this is a 4/4 time metronome, hit play and turn up the rythym fader to hear it, then hit tempo and adjust the jog wheel up or down til you find the tempo you want!!
Hey guys, still working on part 2. Sorry its taking so long, I've been real busy with the store and the band and all that, and haven't had time to do much video lately. The next part will show you how to use the drum machine in the zoom to make a complete song, with starts, stops, and fills. I will try to get it done soon.
Just hit the button that says 8 track recording up near the inputs. Then plug in your guitars either from the direct outs on the amps, or mic the amps. Then turn on the inputs for what you are recording. Then turn the status buttons for the corresponding track faders to red. (if you are using inputs 1-2-3, they will be recorded on tracks 1-2-3 respectively), after its plugged and your gain/trim level is set where it isn't clipping. Hit record+play and start recording.
Here's how to bounce. Make sure all of the tracks you want to bounce are lit up green. Hit the Bounce button, Turn the track you want to bounce to to RED. Hit play and listen to it and adjust the levels of the tracks you are bouncing, when you get your levels set, go back to zero, then hit Record and Play simultaneous. After its done, go back to zero, press the status button to green on the track you bounced to, and listen to how it turned out. Hope this helped!
Thanks so much for the dem! I just purchased mine today based on your video and can't wait to get into it. I am very much lookingh forward to your next demo showing how to create drum tracks. Thanks again, great job.
there is no undo function, but there is a swap function that saves the track you're editing temporarily on the hard drive, if you make a mistake you can restore the track and start over. they really should include an undo function though.
You have to put the disk back in and choose the "finalize" setting. I had that same problem. It explains it in the book though. I would be lost without that thing lol
The easiest way is to just stop. Hit Zero (to go back to beginning, or just rewind to before you do the solo, and then re record. Another thing is to set the recorder using the auto punch in and out function, this allows you to program the recorder to start recording at a very specific time and stop at a specific time, this is great if you have an amazing solo and you just flub a couple of notes. Look up in the manual the auto punch function, it is incredibly useful for this problem.
I'm getting one of these things in about 5 days, and I can't wait! I have a Mac and run Pro Tools LE, but I find myself not using it much, because I have young kids, and it can be time consuming. I have a Boss Micro BR, and that thing is really cool. I use it a lot. So, I figured that something simple and easy like this would help motivate me, since I can do everything right there on the machine.
Question... where is Part 2 of this video? It says this one is Part 1, but I don't see Part 2?
Part 2 is coming soon. The store has been very busy lately, so I haven't had time to do another yet. I havent decided to do a quick tutorial on the drum machine, or on a few editing functions. This thing does so much its hard to do it in just one video. And I am still learning things myself. I will get one done soon I hope.
You can. You can pull tracks right off a cd using the cd drive and put it right onto a track. Then... you can take a section of that track or the whole thing and loop it. Or of course you can just use your cd track. Another way is also to just use an audio out from a cd player into an input on the recorder. A customer of mine is using it to take 8 tracks from an old reel to reel recorder to the HD16 this way. Works great!
hey, do you know if it's possible to use a loop cd with the zoom. I have some loop cds and am trying to decide if i can use them without an instrument on this recorder
Master tracking is pretty easy, I kinda jumped thru this tutorial pretty quick. Make sure input source is Master, Shift+Insert and choose mastering, choose the mastering effect u want, exit back to main menu, then press the button above master fader til its red, and then hit record+play. make sure your levels are where you want them, and then listen to your master track (hit button above master til its green). There you go. Good luck guys.
Good explanation, and good playing too!

I cant remember the exact ones I used in tis video. I think this is right. I know the lead was one called MultiLd, I used I think the clean with light chorus on the clean part. And the 1959MS for the basic distorted rhythm part.

Here is another suggestion for your sound derek, make sure input source is input, hit shift+ insert effects, arrow down til you reach distortion, and then use the jog wheel to listen to different dist settings. When you find one that is close, hit edit and arrow over to what you want to change (pre, comp, effect, etc) then arrow down and use the jog wheel to turn things up or down, do this while playing to find your sound. Good luck

I have the MRS 802 and love it. I am thinking of upgrading to the MRS 1608 or the HD-16. Is the HD16 worth it over a used 1608? Also, I haven't been able to do starts, stops and fills with the drum machine in the MRS 802.
richedie 2 years ago
The HD16 is definitely worth upgrading to. The meter bridge is great, plus having 80 gigs of memory is awesome. Its pretty easy to program your drums as well.
If you want one, we sell them at the Musician's Den, and I have one in stock ready to ship. I always include a couple of cheat sheets to help my customers get going a little quicker.

heya, im looking at doing my bands recording on one of those bad boys, i was wondering, can you record drums on the without having to use the presets on the product, and if so how?
All the best
kijidnda 2 years ago
No problem doing drums, Just hit the 8 track recording button. Plug your drums in, turn all the inputs you are using on, and set all the corresponding track buttons to red(rec) Then record. You can hit Shift+Pattern and choose the metronome pattern usually 4/4 set your tempo, and you have a great click track to play along with. Then once you EQ your drums and get them mixed, bounce them to a stereo track like 15/16 that way you can open up the other tracks for the rest of your band.
TheMusiciansDen 2 years ago
how exactly do you get just the metronome? i cant find it.
guns1rose 2 years ago
Go to the pads up on the top right. Hit
Shift+Pattern, Then Turn the Jog wheel to the left til it says PTN 510 Metro44, this is a 4/4 time metronome, hit play and turn up the rythym fader to hear it, then hit tempo and adjust the jog wheel up or down til you find the tempo you want!!

Hey guys, still working on part 2. Sorry its taking so long, I've been real busy with the store and the band and all that, and haven't had time to do much video lately. The next part will show you how to use the drum machine in the zoom to make a complete song, with starts, stops, and fills. I will try to get it done soon.

Just hit the button that says 8 track recording up near the inputs. Then plug in your guitars either from the direct outs on the amps, or mic the amps. Then turn on the inputs for what you are recording. Then turn the status buttons for the corresponding track faders to red. (if you are using inputs 1-2-3, they will be recorded on tracks 1-2-3 respectively), after its plugged and your gain/trim level is set where it isn't clipping. Hit record+play and start recording.

can someone explain to me how to bounce on the hd 16 i dont get it at all.
TurtleNeck23 2 years ago
Here's how to bounce. Make sure all of the tracks you want to bounce are lit up green. Hit the Bounce button, Turn the track you want to bounce to to RED. Hit play and listen to it and adjust the levels of the tracks you are bouncing, when you get your levels set, go back to zero, then hit Record and Play simultaneous. After its done, go back to zero, press the status button to green on the track you bounced to, and listen to how it turned out. Hope this helped!

there is no undo function, but there is a swap function that saves the track you're editing temporarily on the hard drive, if you make a mistake you can restore the track and start over. they really should include an undo function though.

I had the Zoom MRS-1608 which I liked a lot. Zoom recorders are very easy to understand and use. I might just buy this little beauty!

You have to put the disk back in and choose the "finalize" setting. I had that same problem. It explains it in the book though. I would be lost without that thing lol

Hello!
okey, example:
If i record a guitar solo, and i start to play wrong and do mistakes, when i record... how do i regret/delete/remove that solo, to try it again?
Thanks! Mads.
PainlessSoul 3 years ago
The easiest way is to just stop. Hit Zero (to go back to beginning, or just rewind to before you do the solo, and then re record. Another thing is to set the recorder using the auto punch in and out function, this allows you to program the recorder to start recording at a very specific time and stop at a specific time, this is great if you have an amazing solo and you just flub a couple of notes. Look up in the manual the auto punch function, it is incredibly useful for this problem.
TheMusiciansDen 3 years ago
I'm getting one of these things in about 5 days, and I can't wait! I have a Mac and run Pro Tools LE, but I find myself not using it much, because I have young kids, and it can be time consuming. I have a Boss Micro BR, and that thing is really cool. I use it a lot. So, I figured that something simple and easy like this would help motivate me, since I can do everything right there on the machine.
Question... where is Part 2 of this video? It says this one is Part 1, but I don't see Part 2?
jpoprock 3 years ago
Part 2 is coming soon. The store has been very busy lately, so I haven't had time to do another yet. I havent decided to do a quick tutorial on the drum machine, or on a few editing functions. This thing does so much its hard to do it in just one video. And I am still learning things myself. I will get one done soon I hope.
Thanks
TheMusiciansDen 3 years ago
You can. You can pull tracks right off a cd using the cd drive and put it right onto a track. Then... you can take a section of that track or the whole thing and loop it. Or of course you can just use your cd track. Another way is also to just use an audio out from a cd player into an input on the recorder. A customer of mine is using it to take 8 tracks from an old reel to reel recorder to the HD16 this way. Works great!
TheMusiciansDen 3 years ago
hey, do you know if it's possible to use a loop cd with the zoom. I have some loop cds and am trying to decide if i can use them without an instrument on this recorder
jisthetruth 3 years ago
Master tracking is pretty easy, I kinda jumped thru this tutorial pretty quick. Make sure input source is Master, Shift+Insert and choose mastering, choose the mastering effect u want, exit back to main menu, then press the button above master fader til its red, and then hit record+play. make sure your levels are where you want them, and then listen to your master track (hit button above master til its green). There you go. Good luck guys.
